Cuando Vittorio Lisi, un acaudalado fascista, aparece muerto en Verona, todas las sospechas recaen sobre Claretta, su joven viuda. Martin Bora, que ha sido alejado del frente oriental por su tibia adhesión a las consignas de Hitler, se hace cargo de la investigación junto con el inspector Sandro Guidi. Antes de morir, Lisi tuvo tiempo de grabar en la tierra húmeda la letra C, y sus correligionarios creen que la C inculpa a Claretta. Así pues, con su lealtad cuestionada en un entorno emponzoñado por la guerra, Bora está obligado a no dar ni un paso en falso. Tras una serie de revelaciones, la investigación concluirá con un desenlace inesperado, en el que el sentido del honor y la amistad desempeñarán un papel determinante.

Santos for Criminal Element Liar Moon by Ben Pastor is the second book in a series of World War Two-era thrillers featuring Major Martin Bora. This book takes place in fascist Italy, and Martin Bora is a Major in the Wehrmacht. Let me repeat that. Bora is a German army officer during World War Two—you know, Nazis, the bad guys, the ultimate villains, the ones who audiences are never allowed to feel any sympathy for, the ones Indiana Jones can kill by the boatload without blinking an eye. Some readers might think that Pastor is either insane, crazy, or both to write a book with a Nazi protagonist. However, she pulls it off by being true to her main character, and not stooping to easy moralizing or overstating the obvious.

Praise for Ben Pastor'sLumen: "Pastor's plot is well crafted, her prose sharp. . . . A disturbing mix of detection and reflection."--Publishers Weekly "Rivets the reader with its twist of historical realities. A historical piece, it faithfully reproduces the grim canvas of war. A character study, it captures the thoughts and actions of real people, not stereotypes."--The Free Lance-Star "And don't missLumen by Ben Pastor. . . . An interesting, original, and melancholy tale."--Literary Review Italy, September 1943. The Italian government switches sides and declares war on Germany. The north of Italy is controlled by the fascist puppets of Germany; the south liberated by Allied forces fighting their way up the peninsula. Having survived hell on the Russian front, Wehrmacht major and aristocrat Baron Martin von Bora is sent to Verona. He is ordered to investigate the murder of a prominent local fascist: a bizarre death threatening to discredit the regime's public image. The prime suspect is the victim's twenty-eight-year-old widow Clara. Haunted by his record of opposition to SS policies in Russia, Bora must watch his step. Against the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare and the tragedy of the Holocaust, a breathless chase begins. Ben Pastor, born and now back in Italy, lived for thirty years in the United States, working as a university professor in Vermont. The first in the Martin Bora series,Lumen, was published by Bitter Lemon Press in May 2011. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
